Ahh yes, you are correct. I did not see this as I handle this in a later 
patch in the series '[PATCH v12 16/33] rcar-vin: simplify how formats 
are set and reset':

+       if (field != V4L2_FIELD_ANY)
+               pix->field = field;
 
-       pix->field = field;

If I move this change to this patch do you think that would address your 
concern? The intent is that if V4L2_FIELD_ANY is requested by the user 
it should get what the source provides but I still like to allow for the 
user to request a specific field format. For example in follow up 
patches to this series I add SEQ_TB/BT and the user might want to 
request to receive frames in that format.
